Mission statements for your web site, tracking web site visitors, free web site design and promotion resources
What's your 'mission statement'?
Whether you are 'just' an affiliate for one programme, or whether you run a dozen sites promoting a thousand affiliations - we all need a mission statement, a goal. A goal for ourselves and for our customers.
Just why are YOU doing this... What do YOU expect to get from your efforts... What can YOUR customers expect to get... And why should they sign up with YOU rather than anyone else.
I've been re-examining mission statements from my various sites and promotions and updating them. In some cases that means offering *less*, in other cases more.
Offering less?
I love the saying "less is more". These days when its so easy to get swamped with ezines, newsletters and the like, many times people just want the essential information. Giving 'less' means focusing ... concentrating on a niche, is one of the secrets of successful marketing.
Build YOUR niche!
Specialise, focus and above all don't let your prospects down.
Best of everything,

$15 investment that follows your site visitors. - It's Now FREE!
I was honestly astounded when I found this...and only for $15. FREE
Regulars will know that one of my obsessions is in not losing track of prospective clients. Many of the pages I make have email capture forms on them to avoid this.
But I'm sure that I lose some people who just don't like giving their details away no matter how enticing the offer may be.
So what to do?
Well although this doesn't get email addresses, it does offer me the chance of continuing to promote different offers over a series of web pages and not losing the prospect.
1 Jump makes it easy to track how your visitors use links to other sites that you have placed at your web pages. Besides, it makes it easy to get back to your site since the special header page is shown to your visitors with links to your site's important pages. All the redirected URLs are logged in a separate file, so you can analyze your visitor's activity. The script is very easy to install and use.
I really think that this is an excellent piece of script for anyone promoting many different affiliations. The best thing is that you can buy the script and have it installed all for - free
